Might help to assign a static IP to the xbox if you haven't already done so.

Can you not connect direct from the xbox to your router?

I assume you are using ICS xaidon?

this like may help http://support.xbox.com/suppor ... WindowsICSConnection.aspx

Loads of "competitions" about at the moment to get a Beta key for the betas release on 8th March.

Got my key, be interesting to see how it plays.

Is it safe to assume theres STILL no official release date?

Go for it then BC2 does come across as being pretty awesome.

Meh... I only asked a simple question

I probably will get one, I just regret selling my other x360 last year

I'm sure there's plenty of good games out there to buy along with FM3

Edit: Lol £200 for your birthday? Lucky you, I get £20 if I'm lucky And BlueFlame is right, pirating games makes you look stupid tbh, I've done it in the past, not really proud of it :/ and now I stick to buying my games, knowing I'm not at risk of getting banned.

Do you have another console?, are you wanting to play other games available on the 360?.

JUST for FM3?, probably not, but my 360 is my "main" entertainment system, and I've played FM3 pretty much every day since release so..........

On the subject of pirating games, bragging about it in public makes you look a douche, plain and simple.

I am back again, but this year, going to actually make an attempt to play the game!!!

Yeah, don't mash the throttle like a chimp.

Watched Everybodys fine very good film, with a good cast.

Also, The forth kind, although its abound in negative reviews, I made the choice of not reading too much about it before I saw it and I enjoyed it, for what it was, a sci-fi thriller, I don't care if its a true story or not, it was still an enjoyable bit of cinema.

Thats the general gist.

Pfff......bloody euros.....

A stone is 14lbs of course, and a foot is 12 inches, makes perfect sense to me.

Apparently, people are fixing their affected consoles by removing the RTC battery from inside the console.

Also, it seems its not only the PS3 thats affected, there are other electronic products that use the same off the shelf RTC that are having the same leap year bug.

I think it all boils down to what you are used to.

I was brought up on feet and inches, stones and pounds and miles, because of that it is much easier (and quicker) for me to visualize imperial measurements, if someone says to me, I drove at 83mph today, I can picture that, if someone says, I drove at 116km/h today, without working it out, I can't visualize how fast that is, its the same with height and weight.

Its like Y2K all over again......

No one REALLY seems to know whats going on, rumours of viruses, and unauthorized access to PSN abound, although this has been affecting offline consoles aswell.

People are saying its a low level hardware issue with the clock generator, and HOPEFULLY will fix itself tonight at midnight, failing that.......

Oh dear, this doesn't look good..........

Looks like I won't be turning mine on tonight then!

Because "we" don't like change.

The advantages of "driving stick" far, far outweight the advantages of driving a slush-box.

Performance - Manual wins
Economy - Manual wins
Repair and maintaince - Manual wins

The only time I'd entertain an auto was if I was physically incapable of "driving stick", quite why anyone would choose a tranmission option that is more costly, and suffers in the performance stakes just because its easier to drive (not that "stick" is difficult) is beyond me.

But hey ho, its up to the individual

BTW, I am talking "proper" torque converter autos, not the fancy pantsy DSG type gearboxes.

28 hours later, and its done, I have a couple of missions to tidy up, and a few achievements, but apart from that, I think I am done.

Left with a slightly let down feeling, although ME2 is much more streamlined than ME1 was, I just feels a little "neutered" and a little less grandious in its scale, that said, its still a great game, well worth a playing.

Not sure if I am going to attempt another playthrough at insanity level or not......

When you think about it, many of our units of measurement are strange combinations of metric and imperial.

Thats actually a very good point.

Considering our fuel is brought in litres, and our distances are in miles, that figure makes perfect sense!!!, its blindingly obvious now!

You can change the computer to read KM (l / 100km, avg speed in km, dist to 0 in km) or to imperial, but I stupidly assumed that changing it to imperial (avg speed in miles, dist to 0 in miles) would change to the standard mpg figure, but it doesn't, it comes up with some bastardized metric and imperial lovechild!!!!.

Minor annoyance in an otherwise decent car!
